In the Caribbean, Central and South America there are (2009) 26 countries with Anabaptist-related groups associated with Mennonite World Conference.[1] These groups reflect many different Anabaptist traditions, cultures and practices. Their languages include Creole, English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish; and they represent a wide variety of ethnic groups (including Swiss-South German, Russian, Latino, and indigenous peoples). Mennonites came to the Caribbean, Central and South America in several different waves. In the early decades of the twentieth century, Russian Mennonites seeking religious liberty arrived from Canada, and then from Russia where they fled persecution under Bolshevik and Stalinist rule. In later decades, Mennonite communities in the Caribbean, Central and South America have emerged as a result of North American and Russian Mennonite missionary efforts among indigenous peoples, and through immigration by Amish and Old Order Mennonite groups in North America seeking economic opportunities and cultural isolation.
